Reviews and Notes

Summary/Annotation -> From the star of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding comes a heartwarming memoir of an everyday girl who falls in love with and marries a gypsy boy "I felt like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and all the other fairy-tale princesses, and Pat was my Prince Charming." Sam Skye Lee had often thought about getting married, but never imagined that her dress would be bright pink with flashing lights and weigh a staggering 20-stone. But then she didn't count on having a gypsy wedding. It's rare for a "gorger," or nontraveler, to marry into the gypsy community, but after a shocking childhood tragedy, Sam found the comfort she needed from an unexpected source--Patrick and his family of travelers. This is a true story of how an ordinary girl finds herself discovering an extraordinary world, one where "grabbing" is a sign a boy fancies you, six-year-olds get spray tans, and christenings, weddings, and funerals are jaw-droppingly flamboyant. More than "boy meets girl," this love story is about a girl who falls in love with a whole race of people and their wonderful ways.
